Some men are born to good luck: all they do or try to do comes right— all that falls to them is so much gain—all their geese are swans—all their cards are trumps—toss them which way you will, they will always, like poor puss, alight upon their legs, and only move on so much the faster -- Grimm Fairy Tales

Wish i could be one of these ^^ lucky men; at least for a bit. Would be a nice change to see things fall in place on their own.

But i don't know where good luck comes from, where it disappears after a while. Is it all about working hard/smart?
